Dear Markarulia,

You must be joking. Gender is never a non-issue: it may swing in a
positive direction or a negative direction, but it is never a non-issue.   
I write to my lover every day.  Do you think for one moment I would 
share with you?  


Yes, all in good fun.  No harm, no foul.  

Cheers,
     Marsha
